Rye Coalition - "Young Yellers"
I joined a gym last weekend and made a 6.5 hour-long playlist to work out to. It's half dancey-electronic stuff and half kick-ass rock and roll that you can dance to. Rye Coalition are a bunch of Jersey boys :kool: They kick ass.Finnish Food

WASHINGTON – The health care overhaul bill produced by House Democrats would impose an array of new taxes, fees and government mandates on major players in the health industry, including insurers, doctors and drugs and medical devices makers. In most cases, the pain has been meted out with an eye toward raising the money needed to finance President Barack Obama's plan for reshaping the health system but also with careful regard for gaining the votes that will be needed to pass a final bill. Democrats hope to vote next week on the measure, which would extend health coverage to tens of millions of Americans who don't have it, impose sweeping new restrictions on private insurers and create a government-run insurance plan to compete with them.9,000-year-old brew hitting the shelves this summer

GUNG-HO ON PAYGO -- After the fact // New York Post June 12, 2009 Letters to Editor
The Chinese laughed at Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner after he indicated that the United States would protect its treasury assets, and President Obama institutes PAYGO after he inflates the budget by trillions ("Bam's Double Talk," Editorial, July 11). On top of it all, Vice President Biden indicates that the unemployment rate is coming down. We have three boobs without a clue, and we are in big trouble.
